As Part of Its New Development Strategy, Cartier Introduces the Chimo Tailings Project
February 13 2025 - 8:30AM
Cartier Resources Inc. (″
Cartier″
or the ″
Company″) (TSXV: ECR; FSE:6CA) is pleased
to announce it intends to evaluate the economic potential of
reprocessing Chimo Tailings (″
Chimo Tailings
Project″), located on the Cadillac Project.
The Chimo Tailings Project consist of waste
materials from the past producing Chimo Mine, which operated
intermittently from 1964 to 1997 and produced 379,012 ounces of
gold (MERN DV 85-05 to DV 97-01).
Located near the Val-d’Or mining camp and
existing gold mills with available capacity, the Chimo Tailings
Project can potentially unlock value through tailings reprocessing,
with low capital requirements and a favourable gold price
environment.
Mr. Philippe Cloutier, President and CEO,
stated: ″As announced earlier this month, as part of our ambitious
plan to grow our resources, we believe that initiating this
economic evaluation of reprocessing the tailings of the past
producing Chimo Mine can be one of many exciting opportunities with
significant upside potential for Cartier’s shareholders″.
In the next months, Cartier plans to conduct a
tailings characterization program to determine the amount of gold
that can extracted from the tailings site.
Simultaneously, Cartier advances with its plan
to execute a multi-stage and 100,000-m drilling program, based on 3
key elements:
- Apply innovative AI (Artificial
Intelligence) exploration tools for target generation.
- Review of the current mineral
resource estimate and geological interpretation to develop a
value-based targeting and development approach at the property
scale.
- Traditional targeting with focus on
2024 high-grade gold discoveries as well as best untested
historical showings.
